@aeveltstra Eh seriously? Are we definetely talking about the same thing?
@Gargron Possibly not! My memory fails me at times. I will check.
@Gargron @aeveltstra Andrè, I believe you might be referring to MicroFormats
@deadsuperhero @Gargron Ah, yes. My bad. I read that the Micropub vocab is derived from Microformats, but they don't implement alike. #TIL
@Gargron micro.blog is using it http://help.micro.blog/2017/indiewebcamp/
@Gargron Seems redundant with the Mastodon API, and if you're not supporting ActivityPub C2S then why also support Micropub?
@trwnh Micropub is a lot simpler than ActivityPub C2S
@Gargron Probably true but still redundant. Ultimately not harmful to add, I guess? I just can't see why, unless you were going for a multi-protocol approach.
@gargron I wouldn't have a problem with it but why not implement ActivityPub's C2S spec? :)
@Gargron I'm planning on implementing it in WriteFreely, personally. It'd be awesome if Mastodon supported it too!
@nicktmro@mastodon.social @Gargron@mastodon.social I think Micropub in Mastodon is a great idea! It's a simple API (especially for posting) with support from a lot of different tools now.
@Gargron
Make it like any other tag list. No need for an "add new tag" button, just type.
Like StackOverflow's tags section of the question editor
There are a bunch of great Micropub apps for the Web, iOS and Android so I definitely think it would be helpful to add Micropub support.
@Gargron It would light up a bunch of nice posting clients for free to post to Mastodon. e.g. I currently post to the micropub endpoint on my own website via shpub (command-line client), Omnibear (browser extension client), and Indigenous (Android client).
@Gargron If I remember correctly, SEO-multichannel publishers like Buffer send it, CMSes like Wordpress generate it, and search engines like Google consume it.
